Chapter 6

Knock. Knock.

"Ugggghhhhh." Athrun groaned, "Who the hell is at the door?" Athrun was so tired that he didn't even think about what her was wearing as he got up and opened the door. There stood Cagalli gaping at him that was when his mind registered he was not wearing a shirt! Cagalli was having an extremely good look at his well built chest.

"It's not nice to stare." said Athrun, with her enraptured by his chest he had gotten a good look at what she was wearing. She had on a short tank top and a pair of black shorts with "Bad Ass" written on the back the shorts really showed off her legs.

"What makes you think I was staring at you!" shouted Cagalli then she heard it thunder, "Eeep!"

"What the hell did you just say Attha?" for a moment there Athrun thought he heard a cry from Cagalli that was when he felt a tug on his arm a very frightened Cagalli looked up at him and dragged him into his apartment.

"What the hell are you doing Attha?" shouted Athrun as he was dragged to the couch, "Geez. Can you at least let me put a shirt on." Boom! Cagalli gripped him tight he nearly screamed. "What the hell is wrong with her?" thought Athrun then it hit him. She's afraid of thunder. Athrun then went into the kitchen and made them some hot chocolate. But Cagalli followed him.

"Cagalli you don't have to be afraid."

"Who said anything about me being afraid I just wanted some company." replied Cagalli as Athrun handed her a cup of hot chocolate and returned to the living room.

"You know it's okay to be scared of thunder, I used to be too." He said as they sat down then he heard a sniffle was Cagalli crying?

"You know Zala you aren't so bad." said Cagalli looking up at him with tears in her eyes, "It's just that…"

"Yes." Said athrun stroking her hair and giving her a small smile to continue.

"It's just when I was 10 my father died. He was in a building that was bombed and I was really scared. The ground started shaking and everything started collapsing. I didn't know where I was I just knew I had to get out of the building that's when I heard a really loud boom just like thunder and I saw my dad get crushed by some debris and I couldn't do anything to save him and and…."

"Cagalli don't worry nothing bad is going to happen I promise." said Athrun slowly he reached forward and brushed the tears away.

"Shhhhhhh, it's okay, everything will be fine don't worry I'll protect you." said Athrun patting her back as she cried on his shoulder, "Now may I go get a shirt?" Cagalli nodded but then he felt a tug on his arm.

"You'll come back right?" she asked

"I will." replied Athrun a few minutes later Athrun returned to see Cagalli fast asleep. "Cagalli…" He pushed a few strands of hair from her eyes then picked her and placed her in Kira's bed then he went over to his bed this way if she were to wake up he would be near by to soothe her.

"Athrun…" whispered Cagalli as she turned over and pulled the blanket around herself.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What am I doing in Kira's room again, oh I remember now. It was raining and I got scarred and I…." thought Cagalli

"Zala!"

"What the hell is wrong with you for the second time this weekend you have screamed your head off at me for no apparent reason!" shouted Athrun as he entered the room with a breakfast tray, "Yeesh what is with you."

"I swear if you tell anyone besides Kira about…"

"Your fear of thunder?" supplied Athrun

"Well ah yeah…"

"Cagalli you have a perfectly good reason to be afraid of thunder. You lost your father."

"I know but it's still kind of embarrassing."

"Look I won't mention it if you won't."

"Thanks!"

"Now you better eat up before Kira comes he phoned me and said they'd be home in half an hour. You don't want Kira to come into the apartment and think something wrong happened Attha." said Athrun as he got up to leave the room

"Cagalli."

"What did you say?"

"If I have to repeat it I may reconsider becoming your friend."

"Fine CAGALLI you can call me Athrun."

"Nice to meet you ATHRUN."

"So we're friends now." asked Athrun

"Friends." Athrun smiled as he walked out of the room he was friends with Cagalli. It was a dream come true now he just had to tutor her until he could get up the courage to tell her that he liked her. He sighed this was going to be difficult. But he knew one thing it wouldn't be boring it might actually be, gasp, fun. Then he remembered something.

"Hey." He said sticking his head in the doorway to see Cagalli eating her pancakes he waited until she looked up.

"Yes?"

"I love the shorts." smirked Athrun as he left the room.

"ZZZZAAAAAALLLLLLLAAAAAAA!"
